The unit booklet does not reflect the wattage but on the bottom of the unit it reflects 1350 watts. Only use it once or twice a day and it makes good espresso. Hope that help. Mr Mac

It is rated at 500 W , where a 12 cup regular drip pot is 900 W I live off the grid and this is a perfect coffee maker

Well the included relay is rated at 40 amps so around 2500 Watts continuous if you're in the US. Heating elements often draw more power initially so you can always choose a lower power machine if you're concerned. Best thing to do is measure the current when you power on your coffee maker and see how high it goes.

I have owned three of these coffee pots. One had the same problem. I had to pull out the instructions and follow them exactly. This particular pot required cleaning OFTEN. I hope this helps.

I don't know how many watts, but the coffee that dispenses is HOT. I add water to cool it down. I love this coffee maker!!

I was struggling with this as well. This process worked better (I actually got a great cup like this):~24 grams medium ground (Baratza encore setting 26)190-200F water (Hotter than I was doing, pretty much just filled the press up when inverted)Pour slowly, Stir for ~15 seconds, use two rinsed filters (I do all this slowly so it is around 30 sec brew times). Flip it over and press slowly. Now, I

I had the same problem 2 months ago, contacted Caphalon detailing all my issues with this pot and they refunded my money even though I bought it through Amazon. Apparently there have been many issues with this coffee pot.

Make sure you use fresh ground quality coffee beans. I use a medium or light roast. Don't let it brew too long. Check this by looking inside the kettle and as soon as it fills with the amount of liquid you started with in the bottom, your done. Don't ever leave on the burner until the bottom reservoir is dry. I use medium or med-high heat on a natural gas stove. Good luck!

I received mine and it didn't work at all. Even changing the fuze. So I would say no. Also- items with a heating element are going to require more watts. This is only good for 100 watts. I can't be sure how large your coffee pot is, but I'm betting more than 100 watts.

There is a stop valve that is engaged when the coffee pot is not in place. Perhaps that valve is not properly pushed up when you put the coffee pot in its spot.

Diane, I just measured from the very front above the coffee pot to the back where it would touch your wall is 11" and the coffee carafe is larger than your normal one. In order to be completely accurate with the cup size I filled the pot up to the exact line which reads 8-10 on the pot, then transferred that to my liquid measuring pitcher and it reads 5.5 cups, which of course makes no sense so I did it again...lol. Sure enough it's 5.5 cups. This is below the line of the actual pot though too, when I make coffee in this I fill it up to the top, so I'd say it's closer to an 8 cup pot. Does this help?

No where near enough watts! If your mug is flat on the bottom, you stand a chance of maintaining a drinkable temp.

You may be using too much coffee. I use 25 grams for 16 ounces with the setting on 9V. This works well for a high quality roasted Columbian in a drip brew.

Not sure about the wattage on the lowest setting, but it says the temperature should be about 150 degrees on low. I think your results will vary depending on how big or small the pot or pan is your trying to use.

This sounds like a defect to me. I would contact Hamilton or see if Amazon can replace the coffee pot. I've never had this problem.

I measured it at just below boiling (97C so 207F) on one point, the rest is a little lower temperature. Total it uses 17W and converts all of to heat (not all going through your mug), so that gives you an idea of what can be done.
